UN Human Rights Council's 2017 death penalty vote recalled
Original: The # UnitedNations # HumanRightsCouncil voted, on # ThisDayInHistory in 2017, to condemn application of the # DeathPena
On this day in 2017, the UN Human Rights Council voted to condemn the application of the death penalty for apostasy, blasphemy, adultery and homosexuality. The United States and twelve other countries, including Saudi Arabia and Iraq, voted against the resolution. Commenters are revisiting the vote and noting the unlikely alignment of the US with some of the states the measure targeted.
Why now: The anniversary of the vote is being marked, drawing renewed attention to the countries that opposed it.
